Castleford House Nursing Home

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 5 November 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Castleford House Nursing Home is a nursing care home registered for 43 people. There were 36 people living at the home at the time of our site visits. The assessment took place between 06 and 07 August 2024. At the inspection in May 2021 the service was rated Outstanding. This was a responsive inspection because of concerns which we received and in line with our Single Assessment Framework, we have inspected 5 Priority Quality Statements to ascertain if the service is still meeting the general expectations of Outstanding and Good. Our current processes do not change ratings unless we have inspected and assessed a certain proportion of Quality Statements. In this inspection we did not inspect enough Quality Statements to change the rating. We found the service was maintaining good standards, and therefore have not changed the rating overall. We spoke to 10 people and three relatives on site as well as 8 staff including nurses, senior care workers, care workers, an activity co-ordinator, the deputy manager, manager and the area manager/nominated individual. All responses were positive. We also observed the care and support provided to people over two days including lunchtimes. We found good outcomes for people living at the service in all the areas we assessed.
